STEALING for the thrill of it left this kinky couple in hot water.
Steven Ramsey and Catherine Myhill were left red-faced when they were busted for swiping a sex aid from lingerie store Ann Summers.
The pair, both of Armstrong Road in Scotswood, Newcastle, were captured on CCTV concealing a vibrator under a jacket and leaving the shop as the sex toy turned itself on.
But, Ramsey, 35, and Myhill, 33, never made it home with their saucy steal.
They were caught less than three hours later outside McDonalds, on Grainger Street, Newcastle – just a few doors down from Ann Summers – after police were called to a separate incident.
Staff at Ann Summers had reported the shoplifting to officers and given them the CCTV.
When the police turned-up to a suspected assault a few hours later, they spotted someone matching Ramsey’s description.
Unfortunately for the saucy pair, Myhill dropped a carrier bag containing the pink sex aid and the game was up.
Both appeared before Newcastle Magistrates’ Court where they pleaded guilty to shoplifting.
